Re: Restore of data to amanda client fails

Hey,
I got it working. I executed amrecover on the client machine. :)
Is it possible to restore data to a client machine but the commands will be
executed on the amanda-server?
Thanks.

Hi,
I've just setup another freebsd as an amanda client. I have here a report,
http://restricted.dyndns.org/report.txt, which tells me that it was able
to backup the filesystem of both the client and the server. BTW, buko is
the amanda-server and gateway is the amanda-client.
I was wondering why when I restore data of amanda-client from the tape on
the amanda-server console, the data is restored to the local harddrive of
the amanda-server and not to the amanda-client machine.
Here are the steps which I executed on buko, the amanda server:
1. mt rewind
2. sethost gateway.restricted.dyndns.org
3. setdate 2002-09-22
4. setdisk /usr
5. cd local
6. add src
7. extract
Or should I execute amrecover on the client machine? It will be nice if
amrecover will be executed on the amanda-server then amanda-server will
push the data to the wire going to the amanda-client. This is similar to
the remote backup of amanda clients.
Thanks again.
Neil
